Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: First noticed by vehicle owner at approximately 10000 miles, dealer confirmed at 12000 miles, my 2004 nissan 350z touring model has developed abnormal wear of inner edges of front tires--front tires forming a cupping shape. the result of this abnormal wear has created unstable handling and ride, but most importantly a safety concern with regard to tire performance and handling. nissan has issued a service advisory bulletin acknowledging this very problem for the 2003 350z mode, but not for the 2004 model. nissan has indicated that the suspension is the primary problem for causing the abnormal tire wear and has authorized a partial fix to the problem. nissan refuses to acknowledge this problem with the 2004 model--request investigation for safety concerns and consumer protection.*ak
